Lucky to sell 1/3 of our allocation with all those hurdles you have to get over

Is this the worst prepared we have been for the start of any season ?

seems it to me. I’m not saying it’s the clubs fault but this game could be an awful game to watch

Do you not remember last season?

Our first scheduled game of the season, against Villa at home, had to be moved because none of our players were fit enough after being involved in the August Champions League knockouts.

We had to play ourselves in a closed-doors friendly because we hadn't been able to organise any other games, not even against teams in the local area like Stockport or Preston.

We didn't sign Ruben Dias until September 29th and started the season with Tommy Doyle, Liam Delap and Adrian Bernabe on the bench.

So yeah, we have definitely been less prepared for a season than this one, haha.

Don't understand the nhs app thing at all, just downloaded to have a quick look and it says I have a covid pass until the 29th and I didn't put any results in and I'm not double vaccinated yet. All the hassle doesn't seem worth it think I will just give it this one a miss. looks like it will be a season of going to the bare minimum.

It updates every 30 days or everytime you log on to it

That's me out then. I've had my jabs but my kids haven't. Not risking shelling out for tickets, hotel & travel if they have to have a test 48 hours before in case either comes back positive.

Not worth the additional expendse of having to pay for tests for them both either, to watch a glorified friendly.

Tests are free.

Not impressed. I put in for tickets for me & my kids through the OSC. They have announced the extra criteria for entry today so I told them I don't want the tickets anymore. I'm being told the tickets were allocated yesterday so can't make any amendments.

It seems poor form to announce extra criteria the day after you can make amendments.

EDIT: My OSC sorted it out for me as they hadn't been told about the new criteria announced today. Thanks to them for sorting.

I know 2 Superbia Members who could not attend the League Cup Final because of their postcode. Both over 32,000 points, both had not missed a game since the dawn of the universe, and both were so pissed off with their treatment by the club over that game and the subsequent fiasco around the Everton game that when they heard they had to travel from Manchester (not where they live) on a day trip for the Champions League Final they took the gut wrenching decision to sack it off. This 'make it up as you go along' and last minute restrictions that people are expected to adhere to is severely pissing many loyal fans about to the point where people are saying '"thanks for the memories" and calling time on it all. In short, this is another 1st Class shambles, of which our club seems to be developing a unhealthy taste for of late.

This is not the club , it is boris and co have made this decision

It’s nothing to do with the club.
It’s either one free test taken at home or showing an app on your phone for entry. It’s hardly the krypton factor is it?

Double jabbed and proof of a negative test

I'll be going ... but it will put a hell of a lot of people off

The turnout would be low as it is as a lot of people don't feel ready to go back just yet and it appears that it will be a second string playing as well
